This is a sequel of sorts to a message I sent to the list a couple of weeks ago where I mentioned that I've been experimenting with typesetting Devanagari using XeTeX.
One part of the experiment was to develop a TECkit mapping to convert Unicode-encoded IAST text into Devanagari. Then I stumbled over Anthony P. Stone's website "Transliteration of Indic Scripts: How to use ISO 15919" (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stone-catend/trind.htm) and decided to try to generalize it to the other scripts covered on his site (Bengali, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu). I've posted the current beta version of the maps, along with some draft documentation to github: https://github.com/davidmjones/brahmic-maps I'd be interested in any comments and especially interested if anyone can provide me with some real tests of the non-Devanagari scripts. If this turns out to be usable, I'll eventually submit it to CTAN. Cheers, David. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
